We all know that when we are preparing to leave for an excursion by bicycle its disappointing having to wait for the less fit.! For this reason we have the division of two groups for each level of athletic preparation which consists of 15/20 cyclists, in this way it is easier to pick the right group for you in order for you to enjoy this marvellous sport..

Group "Borghi e castelli" For those who are lovers of the tradition, the history and the gastronomy of the Abruzzo taste we have a 60-70 kilometre course available daily…ideal for the less trained. Available is a visit to a typical factory where we offer a taste of the typical products such as oil, cheese and wine. In this group we offer mountain bikes and trekking bicycles.

Group "Pirati" For those who love bicycles as well as the nature and long walks we have 80-100 kilometre courses per day, this is for the those who have a higher level of fitness: every little mountain or up hill ha san intense rhythm allowing all the participants to remain together in the group!
